O'Farrell's 5-part version

Patrick O'Farrell of the Kernan School of nearby Longford had a setting which consisted of the original four parts, followed by a fifth part which is akin to the C,^K part in the Kernan D version. The C,^K part seems to be a creation of Kernan based on the first “Donalbane” part: hence the K superscript. In the O'Farrell setting a variant of this part is played in the higher octave and transposed to A. His setting can therefore be described as ABC,D,C^K. This may represent experimentation by Kernan, his teacher, before he devised the C,^K part for the D version of the tune.
